NPC Token Character sheets won't work when default token is added

I'm currently having an issue with custom NPCs. After creating an NPC and filling out their stat block, they work fine using the default icon. However once I add a default token image, I can no longer open the character sheet through the token. I've recorded a video of it showing me trying to open the updated token with (shift + double left-click) <a href="https://youtu.be/xrNTNVePfKM" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/xrNTNVePfKM</a>

In your video, the Represents in the token settings isn't set.&nbsp; The keyboard shortcut will only work when that is set in the token settings.&nbsp; Once you fix that (and whatever other token settings need to be updated), be sure to reassign the updated version as the default token on the sheet. Edit:&nbsp; More info on linking tokens here: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Linking_Tokens_to_Journals" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Linking_Tokens_to_Journals</a>
Awesome, that did the trick! In case anyone is wondering what Kraynic is talking about:&nbsp; Go to settings for the token that you are planning on using as the default image.&nbsp; In the Token settings go to the Represents Character field and select the NPC you've created. Now you may update your NPC with the selected token.

I should probably update the Community Wiki a bit with new images on the token menu, to reduce confusion. But I notice I have at least added a warning to the guide there have been an update :D

I'm still waiting for Rodll20 to finalize the settings dialog. They introduced the change nearly two month ago, asked for feedback, said they were refiguring based on the feedback five weeks ago, and then nothing.
